iowa, he did not spend very much time. i believe only seven visits if not less, and he's behind in the polling there. if you say the obama campaign has been campaigning, then you would i imagine have to agree your candidate was focused on fund-raising and not going door to door and he's behind in key battleground states, jonathan. >> mitt romney is running for president. barack obama is also the commander in chief. >> he's not running for fund-raiser, either? is he running for fund raise ner chief? >> i think obama has been to more fund-raisers than any president in recent history. i think the fair points here by governor romney, and i think that the obama administration has been very, very focused on the election and a little less focused on governing. >> real quick, chris, we're going to talk about this on the other half about bobby goshen from "time" magazine. i have to pick up what jonathan has been saying. a lot of republicans have been on the air that the president has time to go to david letterman but doesn't have t
